Chus Mateo: “Maccabi are a dangerous team, we'll have to be fully alert'
“We want to return to the WiZink Center with a great performance and a win', said Poirier.
Chus Mateo spoke to the press to assess Real Madrid's Euroleague matchday 17 encounter with Maccabi at the WiZink Center 8:45 pm. The coach reflected: 'We're up against a very physical, athletic team who are playing really well. They are very strong on the offensive rebound and win back a lot of balls. They're a dangerous team, they're tricky in defense, we'll have to be fully alert'.
'Maccabi really strong players on the perimeter and are so good in one-on-one situations, as well as on blocks. It's a bank holiday in Spain and I'm sure people will be keen to see a good match and a victory for Real Madrid'.
Poirier: 'I'm sure it'll be a tough match'
“We need to be highly focused to do everything in our power to win the game. I remember we were aggressive on the rebound last year and we controlled every aspect. I'm sure it's going to be a difficult clash but we want to return to the WiZink Center with a great performance and a win. I hope there will be a great atmosphere'.
